Los Ingobernables de Japon is coming to America.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced that Hiromu Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito and SANADA of Los Ingobernables de Japon will be at the company's Capital Collision event in Washington DC on April 15. The trio is also set for to compete at NJPW Collision in Philadelphia on April 16. Okada and SANADA have not competed in the United States since 2019.
NJPW also announced that El Desperado will appear at both shows. Additionally, Lance Archer will make his return to NJPW for the first time since the conclusion of World Tag League; he has been confirmed for the Collision in Philadelphia event.
From NJPW:
We are just over one month away from our return to Washington DC for Capital Collision, and Collision in Philadelphia the very next night. Appropriately for the seat of US government in DC, Los Ingobernables De Japon will be making their presence felt at Capital Collision, and in Philadelphia too!
Current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi, Tetsuya Naito and SANADA will be a part of both DC and Philadelphia events. For Naito and SANADA, this makes their first trips to the United States since 2019, and all three LIJ members are sure to make a mark.
Also at both events will be El Desperado. Having been a force in 2022 at STRONG’s High Alert, Music City Mayhem and Forbidden Door, El Desperado is now back in the US and representing Strong Style. What does one third of the current NEVER Openweight 6 Man Tag team Champions have up his sleeve?
In Philadelphia is El Desperado’s former Suzuki-Gun brother in Lance Archer. Making his first appearance in an NJPW ring since World Tag League, the Murderhawk Monster will be showing that even in the home of immortal hardcore legends in Philly, ‘everybody dies’.
With plenty more huge stars set for both events, you have to be a part of the action this April!
